The New England Patriots stayed quiet on Day 2 of NFL free agency after an active start to the legal tampering period.

After reportedly making several defensive upgrades on Day 1, new head coach Mike Vrabel and Co. still must improve at the wide receiver and left tackle positions. They bolstered the receiving corps by adding Mack Hollins on Monday, but the Patriots need a true No. 1 target for young quarterback Drake Maye.

Fortunately, options still remain on the market. Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp is expected to be released if a trade doesn't materialize by Wednesday. Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs are the biggest receiver names left on the free-agent market.
